PkhIs, February .-The RepuJlique
Frdncoise publishes dispatch from
SueZ, which states that in the battles
between the Abyssinisns and Italians,
near Massowah, January 18th and 18th,
the Abyseinians captured all the guns
possessed by he Italians. II also says
that of the $50 Italians who were en-
gagged in the fights not more than %
escaped. The dispatch adds that
the Italians have evacuated all their
advanced positions, and that the
Abyssinians have already attacked and
carried the first line of the Italian en-
trenchnents around Massowah. The
latter success, it is stated, was achieved
by the Abyssinians on the 9th OF Jan
uary, the day after the destruction OF
the Italian forces in the field; and the
latest intelligence received indicated
that it was doubtful whether the Italians
would be able TO hold out ut Massowah

Excitement In Foreign stock Mar

LONDON, February 3-5 n. NJ
There was intense excitement on the
Stock Exchange all this afternoon, and
at the close of the market q panicky
feeling prevailed. The unfayorabIe
state Of the market was due chiefly 10
reports of heavy failures on the Paris
Bourse, and to q rumor, yet uncon-
firmed, that a large banking institution
in Berlin had collapsed.
LONDON, February "a panic on
the Stock Exchange set in with the
greatest force in the afternoon. Earlier
in the day English buying met the con-
tinental rush To sell, but later alarm
seized the English operators, and the
torrent of sellers became SO great that
dealers refused 10 make prices.
The widest rumors we're credited.
and the best home and foreign,
securities were largely sold. Business
continued active In the street until the
petite Bonrse quotations were received.
which showed that the panic WAS in
tensifying on the Continent, andcausesl
depression and anxiety. At the close
the reckless selling Of railroad securi-
ties was partially checked by New York
buying. Besides English orders, Ber-
lin and Paris threw large masses Of
stock on the market Taken altogether
1t was the worst time that tho Stock
Exchange has seen for many months.
BERLIN, February 3.--On the Bourse
to-day a omi-panic prevailed. Finan-
cial advices from Paris increased tho

JERSEY CRY, n. j., February s.
Later reports show that what was first
designated as a small riot in the yards
of the Erie company was a genuine test
Of fighting powers on both sides. The
police learned that the strikers intended
to attack in force the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
handlers employed in the Erie freight
sheds. Hastily gathering fifteen men,
Chief Murphy made a race to
reach the dock first. He arrived with
his mer thoroughly winded by their
long run, and found several hundred
strikers held at bay by two regular and
three special officers, which they were
enabled to do by reason of the narrow
approach to the sheds. The leaders
OF the mob bid defiance to Murphy
when he ordered them to dispense,
and said they had business with the
company and intended to transact it.
The Chisf gave them due notice that
if any of them were hurt it would be
their own fault. Their answer was an
attack with defiant shouts, sticks, stones,
and iron bars. The police knocked the
front rows down as fast as they could
strike, and as they were hemmed in by
their fellows in the rear good many of
them were badly hurt before they
broke and ran. No prisoners were
taken and nobody was killed. The de.
feated strikers were all permitted to go
home. One policeman was disabled by
a blow On the arm with an iron bar;
anothers face was damaged by lump
OF coal. The scene Of the fracas is
near the dividing line between
the yards OF the Erie and Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western
roads. Pinkerton specials, guarding
the latter property, turned out and
formed q line, but took no part in the
melee. The conflict caused intense ex-
element IN Jersey City, and . renewal
81 hostilities Is looked for tomorrow.
